What will happen when I report harm?

Fife Council Social Work, NHS Fife and Police Scotland P Division work in partnership to keep people safe from harm. We have a duty to inquire and investigate cases where harm is known or suspected. Staff work closely with the adult at risk to decide together what action is best. If appropriate, the family of the adult at risk will also be involved in the decision making.

Information for people who use British Sign Language or have hearing loss

People who use British Sign Language or who have a hearing loss can use the Emergency SMS service. Details of how to register for this service are available here. If it is not an emergency – contact the Police 24 hour SMS number or Fife Council’s SMS number 07781 480 185 (this service is available 8am-8pm). Both these SMS services require the user to register. The Police SMS number will be sent to you upon registration. Use the Police SMS Registration Form and Fife Council SMS Registration Form to register.
